for optimum utilization of saline soil and water resources, various methods have been proposed. application of best management practices and selection of salt tolerant cultivars are two important issues. selection and breeding for salt tolerant cultivars require potential genetic materials, screening and evaluation of them in laboratory and field experiments. starting in 2000, 80 sugar beet gen...

a field experiment was carried out during 2001 in the experimental fields of sugar beet seed institute in karaj. the objective of this study was to determine the response of some quantitative and qualitative traits of three sugar beet lines subjected to continuous water stress and normal conditions. three sugar beet lines 7219-p.69, bp-karaj and 7112 as tolerant, semi tolerant and sensitive to ...

This study was conducted to determine drought tolerance genotypes with superiority in different stressed environments. To screening quantitative indices of drought tolerance, genotypes of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) were tested in a complete randomized block design with three replications under two different water regimes (irrigated and rainfed). Significant positive correlatio...

in order to evaluate drought tolerance of some aegilops triuncialis ecotypes a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design was conducted under non-stress and drought stress (irrigation until 50% of heading) condition in the greenhouse of mohaghegh ardabili university in 2012. drought tolerance and susceptibility indices for grain yield were calculated and principal component an...

Brachypodium distachyon (Brachypodium) is a powerful model system for studying cereal, bioenergy, forage, and turf grasses. Nucleotide diversity (π) and linkage disequilibrium (LD) in candidate genes involved in the antioxidative pathways in this species are not known. The average π for CAT encoding catalase, GPX encoding glutathione peroxidase, DHAR encoding dehydroascorbate reductase, MDHAR e...

wheat grain yield is adversely affected by post-anthesis drought stress conditions in most wheat growing areas of iran. to evaluate the effect of late drought stress on wheat cultivars, a field experiment was conducted as split plot in a completely randomized block design with four replications at experimental farm of collage of agriculture, shiraz university during 2009-2010 growing season. ir...
